CHAPTER X
THEY CAN’T BE SECOND AND DIE
The tribes did not know nationalism, and they only knew their superiority. They knew dominance, domination over other tribes. No wonder because Zerot led the tribes. The Zerot know only their superiority and authority. You tell me, and civilized (such as market) peoples do not know about superiority? The Refags traders – economists, don’t want dominance? They want and know. But Refags in the mass or the childless tends to get rid of kids, from family, from any addiction. For the traditional peoples of the same family is everything. And traditional tribal fathers ideally see their subordinates as a family. And so, nationalism is more of a disease of urbanization than of backwardness, where new immigrants want dominance, dominance as they understand it, or at least respect as they understand it. But as a result, when faced with urban mores and urban life, they have only complexes. Traditional people again take the situation by their number, which they create through time, following the tradition already in the city, at least half because traditional people follow the precepts everywhere, at least for the first time (the first generation of the city follows the tradition necessarily; otherwise it is not accustomed to thinking). Until their children become different and begin to neglect customs and deviate from tradition, it’s Zerefs solidarity; in any case, this is a bet on teamwork and revenue. However, most can create because of only one sign, even formal kinship. One of these features and the main one may be spoken language. Also, the main sign of the dominance of traditional discourse will be corruption as a manifestation of kinship.
So, the Zerot have therefore disappeared because they cannot be second. They could only be the first fathers. They are carriers of experience. Therefore, age is the first indicator of salvation. The older the chief is, or wiser, or just older, the greater the chance of survival. If the leader is younger, this rejuvenation is sudden, and the new leader shows wisdom and insight beyond his age. The Zerot cannot be rebuilt due to age, this is clear to everyone, but most importantly, he will never want to be the second. The nobler a person is, the dies faster. And vice versa, if the origin is not out, he does not care where and how to live. The Zerot can only be ahead and on the rock like a wolf leader.
Akela can’t live.
High-and middle-ranking officials do not live long after retirement. Even at the level of regional officials. They somehow fade, disappear, often move to another place, to another area where they were not known. But usually, they close up and somehow quietly go away. They get sick and die. Akela can’t live as an outcast.) in fact, it is supposed to be so in the animal world.
So, the Zerot the elder stands guard over the number of his kind. If the clan is discontented, then its overpopulation has come. Civilized nations will never be irritated by overpopulation. They just stop reproducing. They are exempt from tradition—women from custody, men from duty. Women do not have children; men avoid marriage or become like women themselves.
Only post-traditional peoples can.
They show nationalism. Nationalism is a way out of tradition, thanks to tradition. The nationalists also insist on superiority, just as the primitive and feudal Zerot had superiority. Only nationalists prepare a base for domination, an ideological justification for their primacy; feudal Zerots do not need a base. The Zerot base is paternalism, and physically the old wrinkled face of Zerot. Because nationalists are young, young bourgeoisie, the Zerots are the elderly who die because their originality is death (secondary of Zerot is a rejection of the experience of young Zeremid – A.B.) Old and new traditionalists justify aggression by the necessity of space. If in ancient times the seizure of neighboring plots occurred spontaneously, from the overpopulation of the genus, then in the post-traditional period or at the end of the XIX century and the beginning of the XX century, aggression is fully conscious. The bourgeoisie claims to be “uber ales”. The Zeremids all the world declare that they are superior to others. And to claim that they are higher, they do not need the moral approval of old people. They have young leaders and provocateurs.
There may be many old men but few Zerots among them. That is why the tribal elite is not so numerous. There is the concept of nobility, that is, Zerots, and there is the concept of old age. Not all old people have to know nobility. On this occasion, it is said that not all old people inherit wisdom, but only old age. Therefore, Zerot social instinct does not tolerate many. The nobles begin to fight among themselves for leadership. The nobility must not be numerous; otherwise, chaos will ensue. (What is normal for democracy is a problem for feudalism-A. B.) Not in the sense of taxes, although they also matter, but in the sense of the nobility. Due to overpopulation, which often occurs due to the ideology of reproduction in tradition, the number of people and the nobility is growing. And this leads to feudal battles. How much does not persuade them, the first post-traditional generation of the new nobility (the new bourgeoisie – Zeremids-A. B.) begins the struggle.
CHAPTER XI
THE TRADITIONAL MAN AND BARON MUNCHAUSEN
To sum up.
Traditional people are hostages of the tradition, which fulfills its main mission-the preservation and multiplication of tribesmen. The function of the Zerot, the tribal authorities, is to guard this number. The more people in the family, the better the chances of survival.
Before the state.
What is surprising is that the Zerots, also tribal authorities, are completely blind if strange people come-modernizers. These are the kind of cultural trappers who want to embarrass the people. They wanted to lead away in the direction of some technical progress. The Zerots can't do anything about the Kulturträgers because they don't look like the enemies of neighbors, don't look like the nomads. And their blindness resembles the blindness of blind puppies that mother nature gave birth to, and fate threw into the bucket of socialism, then the market. The market is certainly not a bucket of water. But the bad thing is that the Zerots can't think of anything to avoid being those puppies and can't tell the people anything. They don't know what to do at the crossroads of history and the fate of the nation. They don't get any hints from their ancestors, and they can't think of anything themselves. Experience doesn't help.
The only reaction of a tribe caught in the market is to accelerate all old habits because the best students of life here are young people. Here, the market and its money serve as catalysts for the passion of the young and tradition at the same time. The Zeref always imitates the Zeremid, which in turn, I want to take the place of the elite. No one will ask the primitive authorities and feudal lords; they do not exist for 100 years. There are no tribal authorities – Zerots for a long time. (In the Revkon, the Zerot are represented as the shadows of the elders, if the market element came to the people, as white Europeans came to the Indians of America. The Indians lost, almost disappeared from the earth’s face, only because of the Zerot reaction because to multiply the physical number of people to win in a face-to-face fight became meaningless).
So, the Zerots is the first function so that the people of their tribe grow in number. This must be remembered. The people need elders to maintain order when they can only physically reproduce. Or save yourself from danger. But if the Zerots have no experience against a new calamity because they don't know how to deal with it, they become useless. They are rejected. And they go over to the winning side. This is how colonies are created.
White's men technique was superior.
Then we take Remids or officials. Glory to the regime made officials out of tribal leaders, as the people quickly organized out of the tribe. And again, party secretaries are poor young people in the past. They became the elite certainly. But we already know that there is no equality for tradition. However, the state itself sets quite different tasks. And not just obedience. In socialism, the people also, as it should be, begin to grow in number, – multiply not only thanks to the new technology of mastering nature because all sorts of aliens, invaders, colonizers, and other Kulturträgers do not come empty-handed but also because of their goal. They leave the Aboriginal rulers in power. The power of power presented firsthand is a new signal of preserving tradition. Who did the Soviet government recruit into the apparatus? Isn’t it traditional people, their children? Despite the slogans, they knew and know what to do and how to do it without someone else’s advice. After all, for tradition, the main thing is power. Respect is immediately attached.
Therefore, the best system and the best regime for the traditional people are chiefdoms or, in another way, any different dictatorship. Under a dictator, an autocrat, traditional people multiply in number as if there is no change, not even modernization. No one came to them, sailed to them, rode, or captured them. Most importantly, the aborigines again see the leader; he, in turn, appears as usual authorized (by birth) person. What was bothering the Zerots? What is the first task? Reproduction? Increasing the number of relatives near and far, multiply again and again. Nothing has changed, although everything has changed a lot.
The state.
But now, instead of Zerot is the Remid. Remids are already here and there. They replace the old man at the top. This means that it is already a state. After all, there is only a Remid elite in the state. And the tradition, as they said, has not gone away. No one canceled the tradition. And all Zerefs want to become an elite again, not Zerots already, but Remids officials, especially since the state, its tasks-functions and needs allow it to do so. After the Russian Revolution, all traditional people began to receive (and in large numbers) knowledge, began to study, received a profession. And at the market, all the officials turned their position into money.
But why did they do it?
About communism, the future of humanity is clear. About official slogans and propaganda, too, everything is available. But still, for what?
The main profession for a traditional person is power. Therefore, there are many candidates for power from traditional communities. Wherever you looked near the arrival of the market in the former USSR, everywhere traditional people were searching for an opportunity to have it, they wanted to rule. This applies to the executive branch and other bodies, primarily law enforcement agencies (such as the traffic police). The most subtle specialties and narrow specializations are not for them. They do not need physical equipment and its laws, they did not want and still do not want to mess with wires and thin circuits. They love direct contact. You do to me, I do to you. Because one of Remid rules and after the Zeremids – all traditional is traditional. It did not interfere with them, including assigning the general property, because the market has announced a new set of young people. But already under the slogans of nationalism. In general, they meddle in other people’s affairs, as today it is not accepted to meddle in someone else’s business with the Zeremids. They quickly learned and quickly transferred to the market the traditional mutual responsibility. That’s why business is developing strangely, and it feels good here precisely because of total corruption. Someone patronizes someone and protects the business. Some lead or engage in corruption; others do not interfere with them and are preparing to replace them. They are all the same traditional blood! Some steal, others are silent. Everyone has families. And family is the most sacred thing. At the same time of general silence and informal agreement – I steal, and you walk quietly next to me. Traditional people also multiply – everything is as before. The old testaments oblige all nations to multiply. And why else work for the state, even where, even in power, even in the bazaar? Just to provide for the family, family is sacred because it seems that Zeref and Zeremid absolutely unscrupulous. Why do they need to complicate their lives? There is a dictator, an autocrat, and these are his concerns. He also has a family. It seems that the best system under tradition is autocracy.
The question arises, who needs it if the traditional life of genesis remains unchanged, remains the same. God be with him, that some drag from the budget the many, other state employees are silent. It is bad that the new generation is then sent with deft hands to the right place. These may be armed conflicts. And there may be conflicts within (such as Maidan). It’s very similar to the medieval campaigns of all. A new plentiful generation must necessarily be occupied with something. The usual feudal business is to expand spaces for a new life. And where are these open spaces? Beyond the mountains, beyond the seas, beyond the forests? They’re very close. (Here we can draw a parallel with the German doctrine of “onslaught to the east”, but only as an example, as the market elite is already obvious, its forces can predict as could predict old Zerots in the past, which only stood guard over the number of heads of a kind of tribe) Well, where else will they send these new mouths that want to eat and a high standard of living else(as in the West? Where will the market curators point? On migration or local war?
The post of the state? Or again, pre-state?
Thus, the Zerot, and after them, the Remids – statesmen-cannot give an ideology, they are subject to general market laws now. Market laws in turn serve as catalysts for traditional reproduction and the struggle of all people against everyone from the rank and file to the common people of the community for a place in the sun. We will see the same struggle again – for a post, a chair, for a place, next to the khan-the traditional sun. Everyone is getting into a fight or preparing to fight with a respite when all the traditional fathers are locked in their homes. Thus, they are indifferent to the actions-manipulations of the authorities, including, of course, their corrupt governments. They don't interfere. You for me, I for you. If you are the power, I obey; if you do not interfere with me to feed my family, you rule well, provide a minimum, I will not go out on the street (minimum!). But again and again, the doors open, and more people come out into the street. The children of Zerefs from that place and Zeremids are already demanding equal rights, and they want the notorious democracy. After all, the traditional population is growing with each new generation. But in what form again because we know that the market is just a catalyst for traditional blood. It's elementary. The equal right is a ruse. If people are traditional, then the new generation is the same-traditional. The son is like the father, and the father is like a son. We know why all fathers closed their doors. The young are no less eager than the old. And what did the elders want, to take the place of honor? Young people also want to take something. But all the seats at the top are occupied. And then the poster "Democracy" appears. For what? To take the place of honor.
